Title
Early Medieval Buckle
Description
English: Early Medieval cast copper alloy single -looped buckle frame. The strap bar is narrowed and offset and circular in section. The frame is oval in plan and D-shaped in section, with a flat back and convex front. The buckle plate and pin are now missing. It measures 22.2mm in length, 12.8mm in width and 3.6mm in thickness; it weighs 3.63g.

A similar but tinned example can be seen in Macgregor and Bolick (1993: 204) no. 34.53 and also in Marshall (1986: 6), no. 39, dated to the 6th and 7th centuries. Macgregor and Bolick (ibid: 192), suggest that these buckles range from the sub-Roman period to the late 7th century. Without the buckle plate, it is difficult to give a more precise dating. However, the integral strap bar and frame style suggests that this example is likely to fall later in this range.
